1982 Mercruiser 470 has erratic voltage readings? - boat voltage regulator
I took my boat in the morning and I noticed that my reading voltmeter was not normal. Initially, the idle and the engine is cold, the reading was 12ish. Then came the regime, tensions have grown, if I was then min 3500 rpm, the voltmeter went from 13.5 to 16 to 17 volts. When they left on the throttle, turned to 13 volts. The time before I was with the boat, the voltage constant at 13.5.
Who knows what the problem is and what could solve it?
Is it only compounds in the voltage regulator, or it looks like a voltage regulator seriously?
Please note, the voltage regulator on this ship that the block is bolted OT and fresh water is flowing through them.
Thanks

Hey Ed;
Yes, it seems that the controller is lost. Here are two ways to replace either the regulator or the replacement of the generator with an alternator Mercruiser Mando, which has a built-in controller. This option will bypass the original alternator and May are the support arm can not remember the years I worked on a 470 to replace.

You Mrfixit sure to buy parts, but the generator kit is $ 633.11 Sierra Marine. He is a craftsman, even if you did it should work in a factory for 1 hour. Follow the link to check.

The first thing to do, the voltage regulator to verify that Ed
That is the problem, because a new system for this kind of expensive.
This system is the same as Merc outboards.I should first
Check your blood was placed on the battery to ensure that no

Expensive.I kit is the price for a customer a month ago and is
Cost about $ 1000.00 without labour.I Hope this helps and good luck.
Check the connections on the indicator
